LearnHub Launches, looks great

LearnHub shot

Congrats to John, Malgosia and their highly tallented team at Savvica on the launch of their newest product LearnHub. This is the project that brought them back from the valley to build their startup in Toronto. What they’ve just launched is version 1.0. It already looks great. But know to expect even more polish and general awesomeness in iterations to come.

LearnHub is a social learning platform, where members can create lessons, guides and all sorts of learning tools around user-generated communities like photography, cooking, software development (some serious Ruby experts resident at Savvica) and other subjects. Check it out!

Heading to Mountain View, San Fran next week

Dopplr mountain view

I’ll be down in the Bay Area next week for eComm2008 from the 12th to the 16th. Just in town for a few days but looking forward to meeting up with a few geeks and other trouble makers both during the conference and over the weekend. Drop me a line tom [at] thomaspurves.com if you’d like to join in or otherwise meet up.

Landing on MaRS this month

As though March weren’t bat shit packed with awesome enough events already (TED, ETECH, SXSW, MIXX08, ECOMM) and of course closer to home ICE08, if you’re in Toronto, you may also want to save time for two promising events happening at MaRS.

Thanks to Peter Evans for the tip.
